If you read nothing else on strategy, read these 10 articles (featuring “What Is Strategy?” by Michael E. Porter). We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you catalyze your organization's strategy development and execution. HBR's 10 Must Reads on Strategy will inspire you to: • Distinguish your company from rivals • Clarify what your company will and won't do • Craft a vision for an uncertain future • Create blue oceans of uncontested market space • Use the Balanced Scorecard to measure your strategy • Capture your strategy in a memorable phrase • Make priorities explicit • Allocate resources early • Clarify decision rights for faster decision making Review: Great book! - Great book for people who like to learn business strategy. Review: Outstanding Collection of Essays - Anyone who has ever attended a leadership offsite to develop a vision & mission statement will enjoy this book. Most offsites develop mission statements that are forgotten when everyone returns to work. This book does a great job of highlighting what most managers do not understand about strategy. All ten articles provide clear and actionable insight that can be helpful to any leader. The authors paint a picture of the differences between operational efficiency and strategic vision. Some articles discuss the need for communication across organizational boundaries. Other articles provide insightful questions that can be used to develop a sound strategic vision. Several of the articles use real world examples to illustrate certain points. Stated another way, the book not only defines strategy, it gives the reader some nice tools to evolve their own strategic thinking. Altogether, this book provides a nice comprehensive look at strategy. Since each chapter stands alone, the reader can finish a section, think about it, and then come back later for more. I certainly walked away from this book with a new way to think about strategy and where my organization should be headed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,109,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Strategic Business Planning #55 in Systems & Planning #15,414 in Books on CD | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,333 Reviews | ## Images ![HBR's 10 Must Reads on Strategy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FJCgk7peL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book! *by E***A on February 5, 2026* Great book for people who like to learn business strategy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Collection of Essays *by M***H on March 21, 2021* Anyone who has ever attended a leadership offsite to develop a vision & mission statement will enjoy this book.

Where can you go to get a reasonably-priced introduction to the ideas of some of the leading experts on business strategy? This book provides one possible answer. It includes essays on strategy and the five competitive forces by Michael Porter, building a vision by Collins and Porras, blue ocean strategy by Kim and Mauborgne, and the balanced scorecard by Kaplan and Norton. Although I found the essays by each of the above-mentioned authors less inspiring and enlightening than their books on the same subjects, this compilation does give a good introduction to their ideas, and will help the reader discern whether to take the next step and read the authors' books. Each essay contains sidebars including an "Idea in Brief" sidebar which will help the busy reader further; however, in the Kindle version the sidebars simply appear in the main text, which interrupts the flow and can lead to confusion. Not all strategic advice is good advice. In my view the advice given in the essay "Transforming Corner-Office Strategy into Frontline Action" leaves something to be desired. The idea of distilling a company's entire strategy into "one pithy, memorable and descriptive phrase" may appeal to some, but I really struggle to see its value. Examples include AOL ("Consumer Connectivity first - anytime, anywhere"), GE ("Be number one or number two in every industry in which we compete, or get out"), Dell ("Be direct"), and eBay ("Focus on trading communities"). Do any of these actually communicate useful strategies, or are they meaningless mantras? On the other hand, I found the other essays on essentially the same topic (turning strategy into action) quite useful. "The Secrets to Successful Strategy Execution" by Neilson, Martin and Powers and "Turning Great Strategy into Great Performance" by Mankins and Steele gave some very practical steps which a leadership team can take to make a strategy actually happen. All up, I recommend this book as a valuable introduction to strategy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/37536218-hbrs-10-must-reads-on-strategy](https://www.desertcart.be/products/37536218-hbrs-10-must-reads-on-strategy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
